Hello! My name is Topanga and I am kind playful and I love to give hugs.
History
Topanga was a Valentines gift many years ago. I’ve had her since she was a pup. She’s a sweet family dog and has grown up with us.
Personality
I am so kind and I love to play… I would love a backyard and some kids and animals to keep me company. I love to give hugs; I’ll climb in your lap and wrap my neck around yours and hug you tight!
I am very energetic given my age ( I love to run around as fast as possible…the “zoomies”), but also am a very chill dog who also loves to lay down and relax.
I have basic home training like sit, stay, lay down (I am smart!), and will come when called or go when told “out”. I may be 11 years old but am a pup at heart!
I love to lay my head on your lap, give kisses, and snuggle next to you on the couch when allowed. I’m really smart and love to learn new things.
Cohabitation
I’m pretty independent, but also love company with dogs, cats, kids, and adults.
Medical
I’ve had my vaccines, no past health conditions, no medications.
My Favorite Activities
- Cuddling with you!!
- Chasing after balls and toys!
- Going for leashed walks with you!
- Soaking up the sun on a warm sunny day!
- Resting on my dog bed or on the couch!
Why I Am Looking For A New Home
My mom is looking for a new home for me because she had 2 kids in the last few year, and one of them has recently been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and needs a lot of extra care and attention and time and energy. Mom isn’t able to give me the attention and love that she knows I am used to, and yearn for. She is very sad, when she tells me that she is just so tapped out at the end of the day and doesn’t have the energy to give me all I hope for. Additionally, my mom and her 2 little kids have to move soon and the new place doesn’t allow pets.
My mom says that she desperately wants to find a new home for me which will be filled with tons of love and time and care and joy and affection. She says she loves me so much, and so wants me to find deep happiness with another person or family.
Summary
If you are interested in adopting me, please fill out an online adoption application and live close to Ithaca, Syracuse, Binghamton, Rochester, or Elmira. We do home visits on every applicant, and can’t do home visits where we don’t have local volunteers.
